-Chapter 5- Two Years Later (Home on Vacation)

"Alex, we were wondering what would you think about living in Brooklyn?" Teresa asked at breakfast.
"We're going to Brooklyn?" Max asked chewing on a piece of toast.
"The question was for me not you Maxine. What's in Brooklyn?"
"Elenita."
"So….."
"She offered to sponsor you for figure skating."
"ARE YU SERIOUS?" Alex screamed. "Oh my God, this is ….this is great…. Wow, I don't know what to say… are you seriously letting me go?"
"Yes, but you will have to start the new year in a different school."
"That's alright, I'm sure Harper will understand. AHHHHH I can't believe this!"

After dinner, Alex was on her way to a new life in Brooklyn.

"Alex, it's so good to see you. My have you grown." Teresa said as Alex walked through the door of the Waverly Place Sub Station. She was now 17 and he hair was cropped shorter. Her style changed from when she was 15 and her figure was more womanlike.
"Aww mom it's good to see you too." Alex said going in for a hug. "Where's dad and Max?"
"They went fishing. Can you believe it?"
"Wow. I'm surprised. I thought dad hated sitting there for hours in the hot sun waiting for a fish to get on the hook."
"I know, something happened and everyone started trying new things. Though I wish Max would stop. He decided he wants to start a quail farm. Why? I have no idea."
Alex laughed. Her little brother was always one for surprises.
"So.. how's….
"Justin?" Teresa finished and Alex nodded. "He's…..good."
"Why the pause?"
"Well…. He's changed. He's really different now. Definitely not the Justin we all used to know."
"In what way?"
"Well…he got a girlfriend and they've been together for a year and a half now."
"Wow." Alex's chest tightened. It surprised her a little. Being away these 2 years, she didn't think much about Justin, but now being here and hearing about him, made all those memories and feelings flood in.
"Yeah, his style really changed too. I guess that's what college does to you."
"Huh."

There was a surprise for the Russos that evening. As they were all sitting around the dinner table, eating the fish Jerry and Max caught, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Alex offered. She too has changed. She became more responsible. When she opened the door, she met a pair of familiar crystal blue eyes she saw some 5 years back. Focusing, her heart almost stopped.
"Justin," she whispered.
"Hey Alex, sup?" he said walking in. He was wearing black leather and jeans. His hair was it's usual perfect self, but his face had a small goatee. Slowly closing the door she watched his every move.
"Oh Alex, don't close the door yet, Amanda is coming."
"Amanda?"
"Yeah, my girl. I said she could stay with me here." Alex looked at her parents who were shocked. There was a knock on the door and Alex answered it.
"Hi, I'm Amanda, Justin's girlfriend." The girl was tall and had blonde hair. She was pretty, but her style was not so leathery like Justin's. Letting her in, Alex raised an eyebrow as Justin pulled Amanda in for a deep kiss. Max made gagging sounds and Jerry cleared his throat.
"Sorry." Amanda said. Well, she seemed to have manners.

"Justin? Can I talk to you?" Alex asked.
"Sure thing, what do you want?"
"In Private."
"OH. Be right back babe," Justin said kissing the read head again.

Upstairs Alex led them to Justin's old room.
"Damn, was I a nerd."
"You just figured that out?"
"Hey, is that all you wanted to ask?"
"No, that wasn't even part of it. What happened to you? You're not the same Justin that left here for college."
"Well people change. College showed me there was more to life than just studying."
"Oh please, when you met your clone many years back you freaked. And now this?"
"I was the nerd back then. Now I have Amanda. All is well."
"Justin, seriously. Don't tell me you're using magic publicly too."
"Oh no, no. Magic, I actually forgot about it."
"What?"
"Yeah, I don't really need it. I only did the competition to make a point that I was better than you and I did."
"Huh, you know in some aspects you didn't change, and those should have been the things you should've changed. I don't recognize you Justin."
"Yeah, well you're not yourself either."

The next couple days were a little awkward around the house. Justin and Amanda were all over each other almost all the time. Alex couldn't stand being in the same room, not because it grossed her out but because her heart ached from the love she felt for him and tried to hide. Teresa was worried about Alex's feelings and shocked at how Justin had changed. Jerry was observing his son's behavior and tried to ignore Amanda. Max on the other hand, found all of this amusing. By the end of the week, Alex couldn't take it anymore.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I can't stay here anymore, I have to go back."
"I understand honey. I'm as shocked as you. Actually you're probably more shocked than me."
"I'm sorry, I really wanted to spend some quality time, but seeing those two love birds I can't."
"It's alright honey. Don't worry, there will be other days. Have a safe trip."
"Thanks."
"Where are you going?" Justin asked coming into the living room.
"Brooklyn." Alex answered going up to her room.
"Why?"
"Because she lives there."
"Alex lives away from home?"
"Yeah, she left about a week after you went away to college. She's a figure skater."
"A what?"
"Whatever Justin, I don't know if I should tell you anything anymore. You seem really preoccupied with your "girl" that I don't even know why you even came home. You're not even spending time with your family." Teresa said leaving a speechless Justin.

After dinner, Alex left. Deep inside, Justin felt a pain. Did he feel back? It couldn't be. Why should he? She's just his little sister. Someone he was finally able to get rid of when he went to college. Someone he wished wasn't related to him. He shook the thought out of his mind and pulled Amanda in for another deep kiss. Yes, Amanda was just a tool. She was there to get his mind off Alex. And it was working pretty well.
